Universe Car

Chris Wollard’s Universe Car is a radiant celebration of imagination, craftsmanship, and the joy of exploration. Built on a Mazda Miata chassis, this street-legal sculpture transforms a familiar vehicle into a luminous work of art. Its polished aluminum body and spaceship-like curves evoke the tin toy space cars of the 1940s to 1960s, capturing the boundless optimism of mid-century futurism. With its removable hardtop and dynamic design, the car seems poised to launch into the cosmos, bridging nostalgia and innovation with effortless grace.

More than a tribute to retro aesthetics, Universe Car reimagines those ideals through a modern lens, turning movement into an artistic performance. Its reflective surface interacts with light, creating an otherworldly presence that shifts and transforms as it moves. Wollard’s creation invites viewers to reconnect with a sense of wonder and possibility, offering a glimpse into a world where art and utility exist in perfect harmony.
